PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUR.N ALS. It would coldly express the feeling which pervaded the Corporation yesterday, in reference to the proposed public tribute of respect and honour to Thomas Clarkson, by saying that it was one of perfect unanimity. It was more. The response to Mr. Sheriff Wood's motion, seconded by Sir Peter Laurie, was an expression of warm, heartfelt, en thusiastic applause. The only objection was, that a more important, and, if we may so express it, a more historical memorial of the services of the father of African emancipa tion should be voted than the freedom of the city in a gold box. After some discussion upon the species of tribute that would best express the sense which the Corporation entertained (as will appear from our report) of the merits of Mr. Clarkson, the " gold box" was substituted by a " marble bust," and the resolution thus altered was carried, as we had expressed a hope it would be, by acclamation. So far the Corporation of this great metropolis has done its duty in vindicating the fame of the veteran bene factor, not only of the people of Africa, but of his country and the whole human race. It is not as a matter of per sonal gratification to a gentleman whom we have never hap pened to see in our whole life that we rejoice at this. But being lovers of that true liberality of which justice is the foundation, and knowing that recent attempts, equally un just and ungenerous, have been made to deprive the origi nator of the great plan of slave trade abolition of the well earned laurels of his virtuous enterprise, we rejoice that the testimony of a great public body, like the London Corpora tion, has been thrown into the scale of truth in vindication of the claims of modest virtue. In treating of this subject some time ago, we thus expressed ourselves : " Who were the leaders of that great movement? It is only just that upon the imperishable and sublime monument which they raised to humanity their names should be rightly recorded. We regret to see an attempt lately made in a quarter where it was least to be expected, to efface or throw into the shade the name that is undoubtedly entitled to the first place upon the list of the practical opponents of the slave trade—for the efforts of Granville Sharp, noble and successful as they were, in legally establishing the great prin ciple that the slave who sets his foot in England becomes that moment free, went no further. " We venerate the name of Wilberforce ; but be was not the first in this great field of philanthropic enterprise. We respect the fidelity, we appreciate the perseverance, we admire the eloquence which he brought to the task ; but still more is that man entitled to the respect and admiration of an en lightened people who made the first practical efforts for the assertion of African liberty and the vindication of British jus tice, and that man was Thomas Clarkson." Why should the names of Clarkson and Wilberforce have been thus brought in conflict, which had so long been in noble co-operation ? We did not do it. None of the vindicators of Thomas Clarkson's claims did it, but the coons of Mr. Wilberforce did it. To them the " Edinburgh Reviewers" joined themselves in the first instance. The reviewers have since retracted, but the authors of the " Life of Wilberforce" have not. If, then, that work were hereafter to be taken as an authority by the future historian, a false impression would be created in the public mind of the origin of that great enterprise which Thomas Clarkson planned—of which Mr. Wilberfoce was the elo quent auxiliary, and which terminated in one of the most magnificent moral conquests that ever delighted the heart of civilised man. It is under such circum stances that the tribute offered to Clarkson by the city of London has a value far beyond what .attaches to a mere memorial of personal re gard or even of public veneration. It becomes, as the decision of contemporary judges, a historical testimony, to guide and determine future opinion. It is a proceeding which puts upon national record evidence of a truth which some parties have disputed, and which, if not vindicated in the most open and public manner before some contem porary tribunal, might hereafter be supposed, by many who take up impressions without examining the grounds of con troversy, not to be so much a matter of certainty as it has been proved to be. Public memorials contemporary with facts have always been considered great collateral helps to the elucidation of historical truth. We have seen that in a popular assembly, composed of men of various parties, poli tical and religious, Conservatives, Whigs, Radicals, Church men, and Dissenters, a resolution was passed, without one dissentient voice, proffering a tribute of honour to Thomas , Clerkson, as one " who has the merit of originating, and has the consolation of living to witness, the triumph of the great struggle for the deliverance of the enslaved African from the most oppressive bondage that ever tried the endurance of afflicted humanity." Now the notice of such a proposition being about to be moved in the Common Council of Lon don, had been before the public eye in our columns, and those of other Journals, for some time. The word origi nating appeared in all the published reports of the notice, although some were incorrectly given in another respect. If, then, the party that have set up the claims of Mr. Wil berforce, whose memory we greatly venerate, in opposition to those of Mr. Clarkson, and whose statements are at this -moment circulating through all the reading-rooms and sub scription libraries in the kingdom, felt confident that their cause would bear the breath of free discussion, how has it happened that not a single person came forward in the Corporation of London to protest against the validity of Mr. Clarkson's claims as the originator of the great plan of African redemption, or to disturb the enthusi astic unanimity which prevailed on the subject ? By the public notice all the world was challenged to dispute the peculiar merits atrributed, by the terms of that notice, to the venerable person named in it, but nobody answered that challenge. In his judicious and able speech on intro ducing the motion, Mr. Sheriff Wood happily remarked that the circumstance which induced Thomas Clarkson, at the age of 2.4, to contemplate the mighty project of abo lishing the slave trade, strongly illustrated the good ef fect of imprinting just and sound moral principles upon the youthful mind. That circumstance, as we stated yester day, was the Latin theme on slavery, proposed by the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge for a prize essay, and in the competition for which the youth who was destined to lay the foundation of African liberty distanced all rivalry. The followin g is the simple and interesting account which Mr. Clarkson himself gives in his History; of the Abolition'of the Slave Trade, of the influence which his labours for the prize essay had in directing his mind towards some practical means of extinguishing the abomi nable traffic which inflicted on the Christian civilization of England the worst stain of Pagan barbarism :—" As it is usual," he says, " to read those essays publicly in the Senate House soon after the prize is adjudged, I was called to Cambridge for that purpose. I went and per formed my office. On returning, however, to London, the subject of it almost wholly engrossed my thoughts. I be came at times very seriously affected while on the road ; I stopped my horse occasionally, and dismounted and walked. I frequently tried to persuade myself in those intervals that'the contents of my essay could not be true. The more, ;however, I reflected upon them, or rather on the authori ties on which they were founded, the more I gave them .credit. Coming in sight of Wade's Mill, in Hertfordshire, 3 sat down disconsolate on the turf by the road-side and held the horse. Here a thought came into my mind, that if the contents of the essay were true, it was time s o me pe,rson should see those calamities to their end. Agi tated in t:sis manner I reached home. This was in the summer of 1785." In the November of that year he re solved to operate upon the public mind by translating and enlarging his Latin essay. He began that work in the November of the same year. This work was his " letter of introduction" to Members of Parliament and other persons ,of influence whom he wished to interest in the great object he. had in view. It was by this means he become acquainted with Mr. Wilberforce, and proposed to him to become the Parliamentary leader in the enterprise, which he undertook in the year 1787. The " Society of Friends" had at that time a Committee on the subject, which Mr. Wilberforce joined. From that Society, commonly called a, th e Quakers," emanated the first petition ever presented to rliament against the slave trade. The second was f ros a Bridgewater, and originated in a suggestion to ,the Mayor of that borough by the Reverend Gorge White, who, like Mr. Clarkson, was a Clergyman -of the f.stablished Church. That the person who first contem p l a ,' - ed the abolition of the slave trade as a p rac ti ca l question shoo; eld have lived to witness not only it s extinc tion, but that 6 1 slavery itself, is an instance of a lif e -ti me embracing events. such as are not often crowded into the experience of a s i og ;ss i generation,.

TIMES.—The notice of the Bank of England yester day differs from the last of the kind in some important par ticulars, which require to be made known, and which must have some influence on the state of the money-market. The date is one week earlier than usual, and, instead of being confined to bills of exchange, the accommodation is now extended to Exchequer-bills, India Bonds, and " other approved securities :" in other words, the sober system of banking, into which a careful consideration of all their re sponsibility to the public, after a long struggle, brought the Directors, is to be abandoned for that which experience has shown to be the fruitful source of over-issues and panic, with the train of disasters to the trading classes which ine vitably follows them. Nothing but a determination to make business, at whatever sacrifice to the rest of the community, could have dictated this step on the part of the Directors, who have not only a bad principle to answer for, but a selection, in point of time, as bad as could be chosen. Our prudent and sagacious merchants are regarding at this moment with much anxiety the state of the corn trade, and look upon a large supply from abroad as inevitable, which they know must be pa'd for almost wholly in gold, and this is the time that a well-conducted bank should restrain its issues, that they may meet the difficulty when it comes, without drawing them in upon compulsion, to the distress and injury of the commerce of the country. Such loans as those proposed upon " approved securities" will be of no advantage anywhere, as money can be raised upon them at a lower rate in the Stock Exchange, where they will cause, moreover, no increase in the issues, and they can only be intended therefore, if they are acted upon at all, to eke out a dividend, and to prevent further encroachments o❑ the " rest" or reserved balance of the Bank pi oprietors, at the cost of the public. CHRONICLE.—There has been considerable business transacted to-day in Consols, and more than usual fluctua tions have occurred, arising out of the various views en tertained by the frequenters of the Stock Exchange as to the consequence of the present state of affairs in Canada and the East Indies. Consols for Money were marked at 93N and 9:2f, a difference of I per cent., and closed at 931 to I. The last price for the account was 93-1,- to 94, being a difference in both of only f per cent. as compared with the prices at the termination of business yesterday. Foreign Securities, generally, were influenced by the state of our market, but more especially Spanish and Por tuguese, although there was not much done in them. There is scarcely any variation to notice in the quota. tions of Shares. 1 HERALD.—The aggregate of the average price of wheat, which governs the amount of duty on importation, having been declared at 70s. 3d. per quarter, the duty on foreign Wheat for the next week will only be 10s. Bd. per quarter ; and it is anticipated, from the present state of the markets and the prospects, that it will be reduced to Gs. Bcl. per quarter, which will be only a remove of two stages from the lowest amount of duty on the importation of foreign wheat—namely, ls. per quarter. This circumstance has tended to strengthen the opinion that we shall have a fur ther reduction in the continental exchanges. The pressure for money, both on the Stock Exchange and the Commercial Market, appears to have considerably increased, and is becoming the object of much attention in the monetary circles. This demand for money is, however, supposed not to arise so much from actual scarcity as from the desire of capitalists to hedge themselves from the con sequences of the influence of coming events upon the Money Market. Another cause for this scarcity has arisen out of the late demand for stock, which being borrowed at a very low tentage, and now that the contago has been consider ably advanced, has caused much money stock to be thrown upon the market, and a consequent reduction in the quo tations of Consols. It is also stated that one or two most eminent capitalists have declined to make advances on any description of stock whatever, under the present aspect of our Colonial and Foreign political relations. POST.—At the Stock Exchange, so great was the pres sure for money this morning that the difference between the money price of Consols and that for the opening was as much as a per cent., a circumstance quite unusual for a very long time past. A pretty considerable amount of stock was realised for account of the Scotch Banks, in an ticipation, we suppose, of an increased demand for money, arising from a renewed importation of grain, of which there seems to be so strong an indication. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1838. MAItYLEBOIVE. CUTTING AN I AIMING:— Yesterclay Charlotte Ken,p- Loa, a woman of repulsive aspect, and Bofjanzin Payne. one of the principal vocalists at the Marylebone Theatre, were placed at the bar before Mr. Hoskins, the former charged with having cut and wounded several persons with a knife, and the latter with having endeavoured to rescue her from the custody of the police. Mr. Edmund Easy, a master baker, of No. 3'2, Maryle bone-lane, appeared upon a warrant obtained against him by the first-named prisoner, charged with having forcibly turned her out of th e p oss ession of a gre en - grocer ' s shop, No. 37, William-street, Lisson-grove, of which he is the landlord, and which gave rise to the outrage with the knife. Police Constable Healy saw the prisoner nourishing a knife, a crowd of persons co-operating with the woman, who cut right and left. He himself did not escape unscathed. The knife, covered with blood, was produced. Payne's statement was to the effect that, hearing a dis turbance, he ran to assist the constable, when the female prisoner with one blow laid his lip open with the knife, with the second she nearly severed his ear from his head, and a third cut had almost taken off the top of his finger. He was covered with blood from the wounds dealt by the prisoner, who fought like a perfect fury. He was imme diately set at liberty. A young man named Stanley also deposed to having been stabbed in the hand by the prisoner. The prisoner, in her defence, said that her husband was in Whitecross-street Prison, and Mr. Easy, the landlord, taking advantage of this circumstance, had on the previous day turned her family, consisting of four small children, out of the house, while she was gone to this office to ob tain the warrant against him for an assault committed upon her on Monday. Mr. Easy, in answer to the charge, denied that he had used any harshness to the prisoner. He had received no rent for the house the last fifteen months, and he had tried his utmost endeavours to get the prisoner's husband out of prison. In return for this kindness she on Monday flew at him like a tigress, and bit the top of his finger nearly off, and in making other attacks she fell to the ground, and then charged him with assaulting her. He now thought it time to get rid of her, which he had done in the gentlest way possible. Mr. HOSKINS said that though Mr. Easy might not have obtained possession in the strictly legal way, nothing could justify the prisoner in the ferocious use she had made of the knife. She was therefore locked up in default of bail, and her children were taken to the workhouse. The warrant against Mr. Easy was dismissed. QUEEN.SQUARE. DARING ROBBERY.—William Thomas was finally exa mined upon a charge of assaulting and robbing en elderly man named Samuel How, in the King's Arms public-house, Orchard -street, Westminster. Mr. North, a builder, in Wood -street, Westminster, stated that he employed the prosecutor, who bore an excel lent character. Witness paid him his wages, amounting to 305., on Saturday night. At the first examination of the prisoner, neither the land lord of the house nor his servant appeared, though they had been desired to do so by the police. A summons was accordingly issued, compelling their attendance yesterday. The prisoner,_ who denied h av i ng ta k en t h e money , was committed to Newgate for trial. Mr. GREGORIE also held Mary Lee, the servant girl, to bail for the a , sault upon the prosecutor. He the❑ desired the landlord to stand forward, and observed that he might rest satisfied that a house like his, which he had recently learned was a common resort for thieves, should be made the subject of inquiry in another quarter. NITROUS OXIDE, OR LAUGHING GAS.—The extraordinary powers of this gas were last week exemplified at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the persons of some of the students. The gas was pressed out of a gasometer into a bladder provided with a pipe and cock. The question then was who would try it ; for, although all desired to see its effects, no one wised to be the first to feel them. At length the gentleman who prepared it put the pipe into his mouth, and closing his nostrils, inhaled a cordial out of the bladder. No mountain dew was ever so potent. In an in stant he was twirling round the yard like a dervish in an en thusiasm, and laughing as obstreperously as if the spirit of all Joe Miller's jokes had been discharged upon him at once. The sight was irresistible upon the circle. Grave professors, merry students, and apprehensive spectators, burst into a general cachinnation, laughing at the man in the middle, and at the odd faces they respectively made, until the venerable halls resounded, and even the grim skeletons seemed once more shaking their sides in sympathetic glee. When this brief fit was over (for the effect of the gas soon terminates), a muscular young fellow stepped for ward to be helped to the second bumper. A copious draught was accordingly squeezed out of the bladder into his mouth. In an instanthis face was as burnished as a new copper kettle, and off he darted, overturning , men and tables with equal impetuosity, until he made his way into one of the amphitheatres, where he commenced the ex ordium of a Pindaric speech, and stopped, looking quite bashful as he was commencing the third sentence. The next volunteer entertained the honourable company with a galopade in the style of a dray-horse about the court-yard. Upon a succession of demonstrators it acted differently, ay ccrding to their tempers and constitutions ; but one steady looking student swallowed double as much as any other, and still he remained as indifferent as the bladder from which he had imbibed it. Nitrous oxide is the compound containin g the smallest quantity of oxygen. It was disco vered by Dr. Priestley in 1772, and by him denominated " dephlogisticated air." It consists of one volume of oxygen and two of azote, and is produced by heating nitrate of ammonia in a glass retort. Most substances burn in it with far greater energy than in the atmosphere. Sir Humphrey Davy discovered its intoxicating qualities in 1799. It is colourless, sweetish, and of slightly agreeable odour. GREECE.—The actual inhabitants of Greece are, at the present moment, more heavily taxed and more dis contented than when under the dominion of the Turks. Among the misleaders of mankind in this matter, and him self a sufferer by his own inexperience, was the great poet Lord Byron. It appears invidious to diminish, by the statement of actual facts, the interest which his works have given to the East ; for, perhaps, a stronger one is hardly elicited even by the perusal of the ancient writers, than by the exq u i s i te portraitures o f " Ch i lde Harold, " and h i s de lightful Turkish Tales ; but prejudice must yield to truth ; had he occupied himself only in writing, he would probably have lived lonstor to amuse and instruct the world. It is said th a t h e too k i nto hi s serv i ce, soon a f ter arr i v i ng in Greece, a band of Arnauts or Suliots, on whose shores he had been some years before shipwrecked, and from whose tribes he had received hospitality ; and that these creatures took his money, abused his kindness, and menaced him when he resisted their unjust demands ; and that their intimida tion elicited the fatal symptoms of the disease which caused his death. He perished with the conviction of having been duped, and with the misery of knowing that the instruments of the revolution he had aided were worthless and migrate ful. It is to this day doubted by many whether the Greeks will eventually form a united empire, or whether faction will not destroy what the combined powers of Europe have been labouring to bring together and consolidate.—The Shores of the Mediterranean, by Frank Hall Standish, Esq. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT DUNDEE.—About half-past ten o'clock on Saturday forenoon a melancholy and fatal accident occurred at the extensive power-loom factory presently erected at the Dens, by which two work men lost their lives, and two others were dreadfully in jured. The circumstances under which the accident took place are as follow :—lt appears that a range of arches were in progress of erection, two of which were completed. The arch immediately adjacent to these two was building, and about three-fourths completed. In the absence of the foreman of the masons, David Livie, wright, gave orders, a short time before the accident took place, for the re moval of the wooden supports from the two completed arches, which was done, against the opinion of some of the other workmen. In consequence of this rash removal, the pres sure of these arches on the one partially completed became in a short time so great as to force down the abutment or separating wall, and on this happening the whole three arches fell in simultaneously. The death of the two masons poor on en thewas archth e that tk wasof a building moment. ; Tohere of them were four savedsteppedoff s h t fe h . e T instant The e rest,b efo h r u e w t e h v e e catastrophe happened afortunate.nd Th o mas Roger and Grant were buried amongst t h e ruins. Roger was take n out dead, b ut , wonderful to re late, Grant, after being three or four minutes buried amongst the wood and stones, was taken out alive, although dreadfully injured. Mitchell being at the end of the arch was not altogether buried, but his arm was broken, and ' he was otherwise severely hurt. The unfortunate man Livie, who had given the order for the premature removal of the wooden supports, was also crushed to death. He was under one of the finished arches at the moment of their falling. A portion of the mason work had fallen on him and stunned him, when a brother workman, perceiving his danger, sprung forward and seized him by the arm, to pull him out ; but his feet being entangled among the stones, and the man perceiving that the rest of the arch was falling on Livie, relaxed his grasp, and barely escaped being killed himself. This was a bold action, and deserves honourable mention.

SHIPWRECKS IN PLYMOUTH 0 N 1) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PLYMOUTH, NOY. 28, 1838.—Plymouth is now suffer ing from one of the heaviest gales which has occurred for many years. It has blown hard from East and South-East for several days, and a great number of vessels bound up Channel have taken shelter in the Sound. On Sunday the gale commenced, and many of the ships ran up into Hamoaze and Catwater for more secur , shelter. A , lon g as the wind continued easterly, but little danger w,s ap prehended ; but this morning it. veered round to South- West, and has blown with terrific violence all day, bringing in a very heavy rolling sea. About nine o'clock the schooner Commerce attempted to cross the Sound, and missed stays just under the citadel. Her anchors were immediately thrown out, and she brought up close to the rocks. For about three hours she rode out the gale, but as the wind and sea rose with the tide she began to drag and at noon she struck, and was immediately thrown on her bpam-ends ; the crew were rescued by ropes thrown from the rocks above, but a little boy who was amongst the spectators was unfortunately blown from a rock into the sea, and perished. The vessel went to pieces in two hours, and-her spars are scattered along the shore in every direc tion. She was in ballast. About two o'clock P.M., the French brigantine Co/osso, Capt. P. F. Blanchett, from Dunkirk, bound to Bordeaux, put into this port for shelter. The Captain, who had never been in Plymouth before, attempted to bring up between Drake's Island and the Floe, but his anchors would not hold, and in a few minutes she drove upon th e rocks at the Mill Bay Quarries, within ten yards of the quay, where the men were at work. The mate jumped from the vessel on to a rock, but before he could reach the shore a heavy sea..-swept him away, and he was drowned before any assistance could be rendered, the brig fell over on her broadside, and the Captain and craw were driven to the tops, from whence they were taken by a boat from the revenue cutter Harpy, the crew of which put out at the imminent risk of their lives, and succeeded in the most gallant manner in reaching the wreck. Her cargo, consisting of oil, coffee, and linen, has been coming ashore all the afternoon, and it is supposed she will be beaten to pieces by the morning ; she is a fine copper-bottomed ves sel, and it is a melancholy sight to see the progress of de struction, and the shore strewed with barrels, bales, and boxes, broken spars and timbers, and parts of the rigging. A vessel in Bovisand Bay, has cut away her foremast, and great fears are entertained of much further damage if the gale continues unabated through the night. A boat con taining two watermen and a gentleman, was swamped off the Dockyard this morning, and all were drowned. The Ihconstant, which arrived with Lord Durham, yesterday morning, at two o'clock, lies near the Breakwater, and is riding the gale out well. His Lordship has not yet landed, owing to the heavy sea running in the Sound, nor will it be possible whilst the weather continues as it is. HURRICANE IN THE BAUAMA ISLANDS. (From the Royal Gazette, Sept. 22.) NASSAU, SEPT. 22.—We are sorry to announce that the accounts which have reached us of the disastrous effects of the late gale on some of our other out islands are not more favourable than what we were necessitated to record regarding Exuma in our last impression. Rum Key especially seems to have been visited by the storm with unusual severity. By the arrival of an open boat from that island, we are given to understand that al most every house is levelled with the ground ; that some lives have been lost, and several persons injured by the falling in of buildings ; that the outstanding crops have been for the most part destroyed, and the salt that had been ready for disposal, and cheering as to the quantity raked this season, had been washed away, or so thoroughly damaged as to be unsaleable. We regret to say that our respected townsman Mr. Robert Butler is among the list of the sufferers. The residence of himself and brothers was almost totally destroyed, and his own arm severely sprained or dislocated during the gale. The dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas Tynes was also com pletely demolished, and everything that was in it ruined. Indeed, as in the case of Exuma, everything on the island seems to be one scene of general devastation. Soon after the commencement of the gale the sloop Swift, Seymour master, of this port, the property of Mr. W. R. B. Sands, on the eve of taking in her cargo, was drifted from ber moorings and blown out to sea, since which time no tidings have been heard of her. The master and crew hav ing secured her as fast as possible, had deemed it prudent to quit the vessel, as the violence of the storm increased. (From the Observer of Saturday, Sept. 22.) The reports which are daily received from the out islands continue to be of a distressing and melancholy nature. At Rum Key the gale was equally if not more severe than it was at Exuma, and we are sorry to add that at the former place it has been attended by loss of life. Our accounts state that three women and a man were killed by the falling of a house. There is not a dw e lli ng on the island but what has received more or less injury, the greater part of the houses being laid in ruins. The crops have also been completely destroyed, and we are informed that the salt ponds have shared the same rate as those at Exuma. A vessel has also arrived from St. Salvador, and the accounts from that island are likewise distressing. They have not, it is true, lost their buildings, but thecr crops are destroyed, and everything looks dreary and desolate. A vessel, bottom upwards, has, we understand, been driven on the reef on the north side, but they have not yet been able to discover who and what she is. Several figure-heads, booby-hatches, timbers, and other parts of vessels have been found on the beach, and on the south side a small sloop, supposed to be belong to a man named Hardy Munnings, has drifted ashore without a soul on board. A vessel has lately arrived from Key West, bringing ac counts of a number of shipwrecks on that coast with loss of lives, and also that the crew of an American vessel has been inhumanly massacred by the Indians. THE HAGUE, Nov. 26.—The Minister of the Colonies, at the request of the Governor-General of the Indies, has published in the Stoats Courant an invitation to the young officers of the Waterstaat who are unmarried, and, if possible, not above twenty-six years of age, to be employed in our colonial possessions, whither they will be sent, and in the first three years with salaries of .200 to 300 florins per month, exclusive of other emoluments. Mr. May, Consul-General of the Netherlands in England, who has been here for a few days, has left this place to return to London. The Minister of Finance, conformable to Art. 13 of the Law of December 29, 1835, informs all those whom it may concern that, according to the statements made by the Commissioners of the Prices of the Regulating Markets, the average prices of corn grown in the country during tile month from October 20 to November 19 in clusive were for the whole kingdom, as follow :—Wheat, ner mud., 10f . 8 7e. ; Rye, 7f. 84c.; Barley, 4f.50c.; Oats, 2 f. 61c. ; Buckwheat, sf. 30c, Wherefore, according to Art, 1 of the said law, the import and export duties during the ensuing month of Decemberi2psoca.T Wheat......

Mr. JACOB moved that the future dividends on a fund in Court should be paid to the plaintiff, Mrs. Nedby, upon her sole receipt, until further order. There was no feature of public interest in the cause, His Honour delivered his dinision, and made the order. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 29. BARTRAM V. CADDY. _ . This was an action by the indorsee against the indorser of a promissory note for 2001., payable on demand. The defendant pleaded two pleas, the first of which set forth in substance that two persons named Hatherley and Hamlyn made the note, and that the defendant endorsed it as a se curity for a debt due from Hatherley and Hamlyn to the plaintiff ; that that debt was paid, and that the note was re-delivered to them ; and then that one of these two par ties, namely, Hamlyn, took the note, and again placed it in the plaintiff's hands as a security for a debt due from him alone. The second plea was that Hamlyn had in this man ner acted in fraud of the defendant, and that the plaintiff had acted with negligence in taking the note under these circumstances. There was a demurrer to these pleas, and the parties intended to raise for the consideration of the Court the question whether, when a debt for which a note was given for security was paid, the note must not be considered as paid ; whether the pleadings here sufficiently set forth the facts for the Court to give judgment for the defendant on the ground that the note was paid ; whether the allegation of negligence, and the circumstances on which that allega tion was founded, afforded a complete answer to the action ; and whether the second indorsement of the note was not illegal, as being contrary to the provisions of the 15th George 111., c. 184. The COURT decided on the last point only, giving judo• ment for the defendant. GOMPERTZ V. LEVI. This was a demurrer to a replication in an action for libel. The declaration alleged that the defendant had pub lished of and concerning the plaintiff a certain false, defa matory, and malicious libel, to wit, that the plaintiff was living at a certain house therein described, within the rules of the Queen's Bench prison, and that any one who would give information as to his property should receive a com mission of five per cent. upon the amount. The inuendo was, that the defendant had thereby imputed that the plain tiff was fraudulently living upon the property which of right belonged to his creditors. The COURT would not say that the matter here com plained of was not libellous, but the statement here was defective. The inference put forth in the innuendo was not warranted by any preceding statement. It was in itself no imputation upon a man's character to say that he was in confinement ; that might have arisen from misinfor mation or accident.—Judgment for the defendant. EXCHEQUER COURT, Nov. 29. WILLIAMS V. KNIGHT. This was an action brought to recover compensation for an assault alleged to have been committed upon the wife of the plaintiff. It appeared that the plaintiff in December last became tenant to the defendant of four rooms and two billiard tables, at a rate of 10/. per month. The defendant, being unable to get his rent as he wished, gave the plaintiff notice to quit on the Ist of May, but he refused to go ; and the defendant, on the 12th of June, finding the door.. of the plaintiff's room open, and all the persons belonging to him away, put padlocks upon all the doors, and kept Mr. Williams out. On the morning of the 14th of June the plaintiff obtained access to the house, which is No. 2G, Charing-cross, and took off all the padlocks by force. He then put a man in possession for him, and his wife also went in about twelve o'clock. The defendant and his at torney ordered both of them out, and, as they would not go, they were put out. This was the assault complained of. Mr. Kelly, Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. Chambers, were Counsel for the plaintiff,:and Mr. Platt and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant The jury found for the defendant. TEMPLE V. COLE. Mr. JERVIS (with whom was Mr. Mansell) stated the case for the plaintiff. It was an action upon a bill of ex change for 30/., dated March 12, at three months, and made payable at No. 38, Leicester-square. The hand-writing of the defendant, as acceptor, was proved. Mr. HUMFREY appeared for the defendant, and said that the bill which was before the jury was not that which had been accepted by the defendant. He would prove that after the bill had been accepted the date had been altered from the Ist of March to the 12th, and that the words " payable at 38, Leicester-square," had been added. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. Stewart, of Strafford -street, Lisson-grove, who de posed that the defendant accepted the bill for his (wit ness's) accommodation, and that he had made the altera tion in the date, and the addition, for which he had no authority from Cole. In answer to the Lord Chief Baron, the witness said that he had had some conversation with the defendant as to the possibility of his not being at home when the bill be came due. The defendant was anxious that the witness should be ready to retire the bill when it arrived at ma turity, as he did not wish that it should he presented at his house. It was after that conversation that he made the bill payable at Leicester-square. It was to meet the wishes of the defendant that he had done so, but the latter had not been aware of it. The plaintiff proved that when the defendant had notice of the disho n o u r o f th e bill h e h a d ca ll e d u pon the plaintiff, had begged for time, and had offered a cognovit for the amount. The Jury found for the plaintiff, with damages 301., and 13s. 9d. for interest. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (YESTERDAY.) rr , OLD COURT. HE ST. CATHERINE'S DOCK ROBBERY.--The ex amination of witnesses, it will be recollected, was proceed ing yesterday when our report closed. The whole of the evidence at length having been gone through, The Learned JUDGE su,nmed up, and left it to the Jury to say whether the prisoners were guilty of forging the order in question, and whether they uttered it knowing it to he forged. The JURY retired to consider their verdict. After some time they returned, finding that " Samuel Fletcher, the elder, was guilty of obtaining the truss of goods in question by means of a f orge d or d er , w ell k nowing it to be forged, ,, and acquitting the other prisoners. The RECORDER, in the absence of the Judge, said it was for the jury to say if the order was " forged by the prisoner and uttered by him," for that was the charge. Mr. Justice PARKE shortly afterwards came into Court, and concurred with the Learned Recorder that the jury must, in order to convict the prisoner, say that he " Ut tered" the order. The jury, after consulting for a moment or two, stated that they could not say that the prisoner did " utter" the order, and therefore they must find him Not Guilty. Fletcher, sen., seemed agreeably surprised at this result, and with his companions the other Fletchers and Barker, also left the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HA 2'TON-GARDEN. Yesterday Samuel Glazier, who was on Wednesday last brought before Mr. BENETT, in the custody of Hall, the officer of this establishment, on a warrant charging him with having feloniously forged and uttered a bill of exchange for 401., with intent to defraud John Collins, of Hastings, in the county of Sussex, was again brought from the station house and placed at the bar. The warrant, it will be recollected, was granted to Col lins in the year 1835 by Mr. Rogers, since that period the prisoner had been confined in Whitecross-street Prison for debt. The warrant was lodged in the hands of the Go vernor of the gaol, and the term of his imprisonment hav ing expired on Wednesday last, Hall attended, and made his capture when the prisoner was discharged, and brought him to this office. Collins, however, was not in attend asce to prosecute, but a clerk from his solicitor attended and stated that when the warrant was granted in 1835 Collins resided at Hastings ; he subsequently took a pub lic-house somewhere in the county of Sussex, but he did not know where. Mr. BENETT, however, said he would not discharge the prisoner on so heavy a charge until the solicitor for Col lins attended to explain the matter, as, under the authority of the warrant he was justified in his detention. A number of bills of a similar description had been uttered at Hastings, and Collins was selected to be a pro secutor. Mr. BENETT said that the warrant had been granted by Mr. Rogers, and he, Mr. Benett, would not take upon himself to discharge the prisoner upon so heavy a charge whilst the warrant was in existence. Means ought to be used to ascertain whether the prosecutor would or would not come forward. The solicitor could give no further information, and said he had merely attended at the request of the Bench. Mr. BENETT, in the difficulty that presented itself, ulti mately decided on ordering the prisoner to put in his own recognizance ; on which, Mr. MALLETT bound him over to appear at the Mid dlesex Sessions, to answer any c omplaint that mi g h t . b e brought forward against him, and to keep the peace in the meantime towards all her Majesty's subjects ; and he left the office, being excused the usual fee (2s. 6d.) for such recognizance. EFFECTS OF THE STORM. Since Tuesday evening the weather has been unusually boisterous and rainy. During the whole of Wednesday and yesterday it has been blowing a hurricane. The rain has fallen in torents, and the temperature has varied in a remarkable manner. For a short time on Wednesday morning, after several hours incessant rain, it became very fine, the sun broke through the clouds, and we experienced almost the warmth of Spring. This, however, was not of long duration ; sudden squalls, with occasion 11 showers of hail and rain, occurred until the evening, relieved oily by a few gleams of sunshine. The ' storm in the afternoon was most violent, and, both on the river and on land, its effects were severely felt. In the evening, after a tremendous shower of hail and rain, thunder and lightning succeeded, and the wind in creased to a perfect hurricane. The low lands in the neighbourhood of London are overflowed. The damage effected by the wind in all directions has been very great Accounts, too, have been received from all parts of England of numerous accidents and destruction of pro perty, especially among the shipping along shore. The few steamers which arrived yesterday encountered most terrible weather on their passages, and hare suffered greatly. Many ships have put into Ramsgate and other ports, and yester day afternoon the melancholy tidings arrived in town of a ship haring gone down on the Goodwin Sands with the loss of all hands. The shipping in the Pool broke adrift during Wednesday night, and there was an extensive loss of spars and bowsprits. At daybreak numerous vessels and steamers which had drifted from their moorings were ob served on shore, and others were intermingled in great con fusion. The ships in the West India Dock got adrift, and some hours elapsed before they were again secured in their respective berths. Several steam ships are now over due, and until the storm has ceased apprehensions will be enter tained for their safety. About six o'clock on Wednesday evening, during the severe gale, sever aged paupers belonging to Spitalfields workhouse were seated round the fire in the infirm ward, situated at the top of the west wing of the building, when a stack of chimnies was blown down, and by their weight having broken through the roof, the whole of the inmates were buried in the ruins. The master of the establishment and a number of the other paupers instantly proceeded to the assistance of the unfortunate sufferers, and succeeded in getting six of them out alive, but the seventh, whose name was Thomas Moss, and his age 76, w as f oun d t o b e per fectly lifeless. Medical assistance was immediately ren dered, and it was found that the whole of the poor persons had received serious injuries, but it is not thought that they are of a fatal or dangerous character. The part of the building blown in was of modern construction, and was considered perfectly secure. The guardians of White chapel Union, in which the workhouse is situated, held a meeting on the subject, and a lengthened investigation will take place before the coroner as to the fatal occurrence. At about a quarter past 4 o'clock yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, one of the most singular accidents that ever was recorded in the columns of a newspaper occurred at No. 2, Stone-buildings, Lincoln's-inn. Just as the gentle men were leaving their chambers, a dreadful crash from the roof downwart's struck terror into all present. It ap pears that a stack, consisting of eight iron chimnies, had yielded to the pressure of the elements, and fell through the skylight, taking with it a large portion of a massive stone staircase, and sinking to a considerable depth into the foundation of the building. Two persons very narrowly escayed with their lives. A Mr. Fitzpatrick, in the act of coming out of Mr. Spence's chambers, w,is violently struck on the head by a portion of the descending ruin ; but though his hat was crushed he miraculously escaped person, 1 idury. Had he beou two stets higher up the staircase, he must inevitably have been killed. The oth. r party, a lad, was at the bottom of the stairs at the mo ment, but the mass swept past and left him unhurt. The injury done to the building is very considerable. The noise occasioned by the fall was heard at a great distance, STAMP RETURNS.—Thy, Carlisle Patriot com plains that its circulation is not accurately stated in the last return of the number of stamps issued to newspapers. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—We were glad to see this theatre well filled List evening, for the benefit of Mr. Archer. The performances were Morton's old comedy of Speed the Plough, Mrs. C. Gore's popular little drama of the Maid of Croissey, and Mr. Haynes Bayley's new farce of Mr. Greenfinch. Speed the Plough has not been played at the Haymarket for three years, and last night it cam • out like a revived popular favourite, and was received in a way to augur well for the experiment which we understand Mr. Webster intends trying at the commencement of his next season—namely, of reproducing old and favourite co medies of accepted merit with all the pains and appoint ments which Macready is bestowing upon Shakspeare. Mr. Archer could not have catered better for the entertainment of his friends. The extraordinary heavy gale of wind from the east and south-east which set in on Sunday morning, and con tinued, with a tremendous swell, the whole of Monday, has compelled the whole of the shipping in our bay and Port land road to take shelter for the present in Chesil Cove, which is thus become quite a maritime depot. ; the craft riding there in perfect security as long as the wind con tinues in the same quarter.—Skerborne Journal. THE COTTAGE FIRE, A DISCOVERY.--A plan of warming a house, from the back of a kitchen-grate, has been adopted by Sir Charles Menteath. A cast-iron back, an inch thick, is fixed to the grate, and another plate of sheet-iron, placed at a distance of one or two inches from the cast-iron back, shows a species of stove, which serves to warm the under-ground story of a house ; and, by means of a circulation of air passing between the two iron plates, a current of warm air, by means of a pipe from the hot chamber between the iron plates, is carried to the next floor above. The air is heated to 190 degrees, by this simple and economical method. The wall is hollowed out to the passage or room behind the kitchen-grate. The placing a thin plate of sheet-iron behind the fire of a cottage-A.i.rktt., adds much to the comfort of the inhabitant. All c:,ttages should consist of two rooms, with a wall in which the grate of the cottager is placed ; so that the back of his grate warms the room behind, and t iries his clothes. ARREST VNI>E4 THE IMPRISONMENT FOR DEDT ACT.--From the case of " Bateman v. Dunn," re cently argued in the Court of Common Pleas, it appears that in an affidavit of debt under the new Act, for the pur pose of obtaining a Judge's order to hold a defendant to bail, the plaintiff must not only swear as to his belief that the debtor is about to quit England unless forthwith appre hended, but must also set forth the facts on which that be lief is founded. in order that they may be submitted to the consideration of the Judge, who will exercise his discretion accordingly. r 7TA.RKETS 'CR C(HL\ .
